Scarves Scarf of the Day 2021 - Which Hermès scarf are you wearing today?

[Snausages]

About 10+ years ago I saw this on evilbay with a black background. I’ve not seen other Vienna themed scarves and my mother’s family hails from there so I added it to my scarf drawer. But the yellows did nothing for me so I rehomed it. A year or so later a burgundy background appeared but I forgot to watch it and some other lucky bidder got it. I’ve been searching for it ever since.
So it popped up on TRR at an unattractive price given its age and lack of interest. So I waited for the price to drop, and while I think if I’d waited longer the price would have dropped further I couldn’t miss it a second time.
The silk is soft, it lacks a caretag, there are some small stains that will get the Janie’s dry cleaning stick treatment, and I was horrified that TRR pinned their store tag to it (at least in a surreptitious area). I don’t have many summer tops to wear with this and the yellows still do me no favors. But I’m thrilled.

For Wednesday, I’m slightly off topic - so I hope you’ll forgive me.
FOMO is not only fear of missing out on scarves but missing out on spending time with those we love and didn’t see much of last year.
So because I’m spending this week with my sweet pea, here we are at the Art Museum, and we’re both wearing H!

Scream!! She’s so adorable Cookie! How wonderful to share your passion for H with her, she’ll have the most amazing memories of you when she’s older.

Well, I forgot, until @Pirula and @momasaurus posted gavs, that I bought a few impulse cuties, too! But in H Math, aren't gavs a bit like a rounding error (not at reseller insane prices, but...)? Here are two together; a total impulse search after seeing Momasaurus' beautiful 90 and an Evil Bay "make an offer" at bedtime that I woke up owning. So happy to have both. I think they like each other!!

Truly exceptional! Both the pairing of the two gavs and your navy shirt jac. I too snapped up an etude gav this year but (a) didn’t love the colorway - a muted rose pink affair and (b) the format. I lack the swanlike neck to pull it off like many on here! You are making me think twice as to whether I need to purchase another one in a complimentary color scheme. #enabled

I haven't had many FOMO or bargains so far this year, but I did have a few Must-buys.

The one I'm showing now is a grail that I pursued for 5.5 years. In Jan 2016, our previous Scarf Mistress @ABQ2ATL showed CLF twisted in a tie with Printemps Ete.

I loved the Death & The Maiden vibe. I have the CLF and I've been looking for the red cw of Printemps Ete ever since. It was always too expensive or, if a bargain, I missed it. Recently, I saw it at a bargain price again, but the seller strangely only shows 2 photos of every scarf in their listings: a tied version and a one-eighth sliver. Before I could enquire further, it was snapped up by a braver soul than me. I finally found my red Printemps Ete last week in my own backyard - at a consignment store that I've never walked into before, but which happened to list the scarf online. It wasn't a bargain, but it wasn't atrociously priced either, a hair less than current retail for a 70cm. Now I can finally try to do my own Death and the Maiden!

Congrats on this find xcs! Ete is on my must buy list too, but this pairing with CLF is to die for (no pun intended). Can’t wait to see your double tie!

Lovely! Great colors and I get what you mean about yellow doing no favors. What scarf is this?

 

[LKBNOLA]

Absolutely stunning, Pirula. Oh, this is a scarf that is gorgeous in any colorway. The red/caramel, the light pink/cream with hints of fuscia, your cobalt/rose/noir, the bleu nuit/azur, and the cw I finally chose, despite the struggle to decide which one .View attachment 5124425

Sisters @Karenska and twins with @Pirula on this charmer. The hem on this one is TDF.

My Carré Kantha was a real bargain for 150 Euros! I wasn‘t even sure if I would like the all pink cw but it was just too good a price not to buy it. I had seen it on MaiTai’s Blog and always liked it on her. Then I had found it on a reseller site - for 999 Dollars and it actually got sold! Now I‘m glad I bought it because I like the colours a lot.

You look wonderful @Thelittlefoxes -- I adore the Kantha -- so pretty in pink but just a charming design in any cw. Love the earrings, too!

Lamb Chops wore a Cheval Punk 45 when we went out last night.

So cute @duggi84! I love that design, too.

So, is it an impulse purchase if you walk into H, see something, and fall truly madly deeply in love? Perhaps in some ways, so close enough. A souvenir of my lovely day with darling Fifi (who did nothing to dissuade me!)

Great photos and lovely to see scarfie friends having RL enablement fun! Your shawl is beautiful @Pirula.

A few more Grails fulfilled and wonderful purchases made this year.
I had always admired Pelages et Camouflages after seeing it modeled beautifully by so many here. But, it was finally @Pirula that pushed me over the edge with hers. Luckily, soon after her find, this one came up and I hit that purchase button as quickly as I could. Not exactly a bargain as I paid $10 over current retail, but I couldn’t resist and quenched my FOMOF
View attachment 5124595

Another long-time Grail was Zebra Pegasus. Such a marvelous design that I could never decide on a CW, so I sadly sat with my indecision and saw it drift farther and farther away. But about a year ago a friend who has a small and well-curated H silks collection found this CW on a reseller site and her marvelous styling of it helped me to decide that I needed her CW. Well, when it came up on the same reseller site of Pelages two weeks later, I didn’t hesitate. Major FOMOF again! And, for less than my friend payed at about $50 below current retail
View attachment 5124593

Cavaliers Peuls in this CW has been a long-time Grail and when it came up in perfect condition at a little over $200 I pounced… Sales Goggles working their magic again
View attachment 5124594

Oooh, @Living.la.vida.fifi these are marvelous! I am your P&C sister and ZP sister too. I do not know the other design but must learn about it-- so beautiful.

Just love this so much @Cookiefiend! What a lovely day with your darling girl. She has your smile! Her little gav looks perfect with her rainbow dress and your earrings are fab with your Kantha! (PS Granddaughters are never off-topic, BTW)

I love red black and white together and it looks wonderful on you!

Thank you! I never thought that red and I were friends-- more like casual acquaintances but we have grown closer lately...

Let me put this out there: I’m happy to help anyone hunt for grails! I enjoy a mission even if not my own

Now THAT is a great offer @Snausages! Seriously it is nice to get the occasional PM about an item that some kind tPFer remembers one was looking for...

I would be too @Snausages! What a great story and a great find. It looks wonderful with the yellow stripes so you have one top already...I have also encountered the TRR tag application horror show when the original care tag has been detached. On the plus side, some scarves are in otherwise great condition minus care tag and thus cost a lot less. H Math!

Thank you so much @Foxy trini! And thank you @Snausages and @paula24jen and all the rest of you lovelies who were so kind about my gav pairing. Everything I know about gavs I learned here from @Cookiefiend, @Nomad and @Karenska. I am their humble grasshopper...

Another Must-Buy. This was not a bargain. I paid a lot more than current retail for it. A few years ago, @lanit showed SOTD an interesting scarf called Calvacadour Clair de Lune. I liked it but it rarely appears in the resale market. I missed out on one about 2 years ago, not that it was priced even close to retail. This one is from a Japanese seller, purchased a couple of months ago, and was one of those rather anonymous listings that don't tell you much and test your identification skills. I hesitated, but finally pulled the trigger because I didn't want to search any longer.

It's brown, the only cw for this design. So to brighten it up, a true bargain - the Folklore twilly which became even cheaper with the use of a voucher, and was bought because it was so cheerfully bright and we need cheer in our lives.

I will have to wear this a lot to bring down the cost per wear

Welcome into our exclusive discerning club - the Clair de Lune is really dark brown, and needs a lot of light to shine in all its understated glory. I rarely wear mine, it's very stiff and I fear loosing it if not secured tightly with a knot or a scarf ring - enjoy

Lovely on you, and no, not an impulse purchase, I think when that happens its totally intuitive. I have never regretted an "impulse" purchase. What a lovely day you must have had, great times.

What a lovely use of the twilly @xincinsin. This is a gorgeous shade of brown-- would it be possible to see a photo of this elusive beauty flat? I love your stories/rationales...

 

[LKBNOLA]

Here's my SOTD on theme-- I found this for less than the current retail price of a twilly (oh, oKAY, maxi twilly) and since y'all know I am a blue and black lover this had my name on it. It qualifies for the sales goggles category because I had already ticked off this design in my collex with a really lovely, colorful maxi twilly so I hardly "needed" a 90 of another zebra, pegasus or not! But, it has proven to be a Very Useful Scarf as it goes with almost everything. I am loving this chemisier knot as my pix this week attest...

Bonjour!

Another impulse buy this year. I saw it on @Bova123 and had (HAD I say) to have it. I even found it with her help!

This looks great! I love waking up to a new goodie.n Also I have these same scarf rings! But I do not have such toned arms, alas.

This is so beautiful. I'm always amazed at the trompe l'oeil texture! And - awesome price.
